I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night

Every week on my other blog, Scathingly Brilliant, I do a post called "star stuff" about science, astronomy, etc. Last week I posted an image with this quote, which was attributed to Galileo. A reader brought it to my attention that it's a frequent misquote, actually from a poem by Sarah Williams. Anyway, I was so in love with these words that I decided to revamp this drawing to include them. I still have the original (sans quote) available in my shop, but I love how it looks with the text! It's available as an 8x10 print here, and I'll be adding 4x6 soon too!

ps. don't forget about my leap year sale! :)

Meet Rosie!

I'm so happy to announce today that Flapper Doodle has expanded to include Rosie, who will be in charge of all social networking! I've always wanted Flapper Doodle to have an active social networking presence and now we will! Rosie will be handling the twitter account (@flapperdoodle) and facebook page. For starters this will include updates about new products, promotions, coupon codes, fun links and interaction with followers. But eventually we're hoping to start doing some contests and giveaways as well! :)

Rosie is exceptionally sweet and I couldn't think of a better person to be my first co-worker! You can hop over to twitter or facebook and say hello, or visit her blog here!

ps. As always (even when I was handling these accounts myself) I ask that you please direct any inquiries about orders or product information to my email or contact me directly on etsy.

Hand drawn art deco fonts!

I love hand drawn fonts, and I love art deco fonts but I've never really seen them combined... until now ;) I love the idea of combining the perfection of art deco with the imperfection of my handwriting, sooo I'm doing a whole line of hand-lettered art deco flapper doodle fonts! These are just the first two... I was planning on waiting until I had a bunch before posting any, but after doing these two I was just too excited to wait!

They're available in my etsy shop for $5 each here!
